Twelve distinct municipal filings hit the record books for the towering structure at 195 N Cook St between April 9 and June 29, marking a frantic final sprint to finish one of Cherry Creek North's most anticipated projects.
This rapid administrative pace confirms the transition from construction zone to active community for the Modera Second Avenue Apartments, a luxury midrise that will soon house 110 residents and activate ground-floor retail.
The latest surge began with two occupancy permits recorded in mid-April, but the pace truly accelerated through May. By June, the filings shifted focus: a commercial permit logged on June 2, followed by three street occupancy permits on June 8, June 10, and June 29. This specific cluster of street filings signals immediate preparation for retail tenants and sidewalk cafes, suggesting the building's commercial shell is finally ready for business.
These 12 recent records follow a documented pattern of intense activity at the site. Earlier this spring, 14 occupancy permits were issued in just 56 days, indicating a staggered rollout of the 110-unit complex. The current filings bridge the gap between initial residential move-ins and the full activation of the ground-floor commercial spaces.
Developer Mill Creek Residential has orchestrated this timeline to meet a late 2026 completion window. The project, comprising one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, represents one of the most significant administrative bursts for a single property in Denver this year. The concentration of permits over a single quarter underscores a coordinated effort to finalize every unit and storefront simultaneously.
Residents should watch for physical changes to the storefronts along Cook Street as these commercial permits take effect. Further filings related to signage, landscaping, or final inspections may appear in the coming weeks as the property fully transitions into a mixed-use community.
